exim 4.63 SMTP listener keeping log file open for days

Hi,

one Debian exim user reports (see http://bugs.debian.org/476958) that
his exim SMTP listener process (the one running with -bd -q30m) keeps
/var/log/exim/mainlog open for days after log rotation:

|# ps auxww | grep [4]349
|102 4349 0.0 0.2 11756 2884 ? Ss Apr26 0:01 /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m
|# lsof -p 4349
|COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
|[snippage]
|exim4 4349 Debian-exim 6w REG 3,5 184728 128 /var/log/exim4/mainlog.1 (deleted)

Since Debian rotates mainlog daily, this means that the file wasn't
closed for at least more than 24 hours, after /var/log/exim4/mainlog
was rotated to /var/log/exim4/mainlog.1 and, the day later, was
compressed to /var/log/exim4/mainlog.2.gz and deleted.

I have never seen this happen on any of my own systems, and Debian has
been shipping this setup of exim 4.63 as part of our default install
in the stable distribution for more than a year.

I therefore strongly suspect that this is a local issue on the system
of the bug reporter, but since exim is documented to close the log
immediately after writing to it, which situation could lead to the log
kept open for this excessive amount of time?

Greetings
Marc

Is that pid actually the parent listening process? Is there proof that
that log file was rotated days ago?

Well the code in the daemon is careful to close the logs so I can't see
how this can happen.

How can I make the user find out? Is there any possibility that there
are more than one exim process with -bd -q30m around?

Inside the [snippage], I snipped a line saying
|exim4 4349 Debian-exim 3u IPv4 10856266 TCP *:smtp (LISTEN)
(which I had better left in).

>Is there proof that

Other than the user claiming to not having messed with the logs, and
Debian rotating the logs on a daily basis by default, no.

A pity, I'd love to find out what happens here.

Check its ppid or run exiwhat (though it it's wedged the latter won't work).

Yes, all the connection-handling processes have the same proctitle as the
parent listener.

> Inside the [snippage], I snipped a line saying

Yes I saw that in the bug report. It seems that Exim closes the listening
sockets after forking so that might be the parent process - the lack of
connected sockets suggests this, though that doesn't rule it out from
being a queue runner.

Hmm, and /proc/pid/fd is no use either :-(

Well it looks like I have a live one, and it looks rather broken - some
kind of deadlock, possibly signal related? It's a bit mysterious.

Do I still have to do that while you see the issue yourself?

In my experience, a queue runner shows up as "exim -q", even if
invoked from the main daemon.

That doesn't look like a Debian system, so can I assume that you see
the issue as well and don't need any more debugging help from our
side? Or is there anything more I can do to help?

Does it help to have my user run exim with debugging symbols (Which is
easily possible on Debian)?

Is it sufficient to run gdb <pid> and to type "bt"?

Re: exim 4.63 SMTP listener keeping log file open for days [In reply to]

Quoting Tony Finch (dot[at]dotat.at):

> Well it looks like I have a live one, and it looks rather broken - some

I'm also seeing what Marc posted. I'm 100% certain pid 10309 is my master
process and running lsof also produces:

| exim4 10309 Debian-exim 10w REG 9,2 714262 24068181
| /var/log/exim4/mainlog.1 (deleted)

Yet, i do get correct loglines in /var/log/exim4/mainlog and the whole
system seems to function just perfectly well.

Now i wonder, does this listenerprocess log anything at all? :)
I haven't looked at the source yet, but i tend to think only the
children log to the 'current' mainlog. Also, my logrotate.d/exim4-base
does not have any postrotate script to reload the daemon...

Looks to me like some open()-call, which the master process does to see
if the logs are writeable, didn't get closed properly. Funny thing
is, when i restart Exim and check proc/pid/fd there's no logfiles.

Weird.

-Sndr.

According to the docs, there was never a need to reload the daemon
after log rotation.

Some help might be useful, in case we're seeing different problems. In my
case the wedged process with the open log file is definitely NOT the
master process.

Yes, that would be helpful, thanks.

Yes, though you need the -p flag to gdb.

And when do you want the backtrace to be done? Wait for a wedged
process, attach to it with gdb and bt then?
